David Witts and the new Wicked cast

They’ll have you Defying Gravity: the first images have been released of the new Wicked cast, with new cast members David Witts as Fiyero and Chris Jarman as Doctor Dillamond.

Both new cast members join the London production from this coming Monday (23 July), joining current cast members Alice Fearn as Elphaba, Sophie Evans as Glinda and Rosa O’Reilly, who takes over the role of Nessarose.

And in even more Popular news, two extra Wicked matinee performances have been added this summer, on Thursday 16 August and Thursday 30 August 2018, at 2.30pm.

Based on the acclaimed, best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire that ingeniously re-imagines the stories and characters created by L. Frank Baum in The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, Wicked tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two sorcery students.

Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Wicked is also participating in Kids Week; throughout August, a child aged 16 or under can go free when accompanied by an adult paying full price. Adults can also purchase up to two extra children’s tickets at half price, and there are no booking fees to pay.
